Everyone will be accessing the same FY2019 non-salary projection (19003). We have set up restrictions in Munis so you will only be able to view your piece of the pie! If you are not able to access a specific project, please contact the budget department for assistance. The budget department will be running a separate projection that will calculate FY19 regular salary accounts as well as provisional salary accounts. Please verify/change the following items so they mirror the below screen shot: Projection number = 19003 (you may not be able to access this field) Budget level = 1 (you may not be able to access this field) Calculation Method = 1 - Current Budget (you may not be able to access this field) Continue tabbing through until your curser lands on the Fund search value, then STOP 3
Please enter the Fund and Project that you would like to review/edit. If you are reviewing/editing multiple projects, you will need to repeat this step for each project. Type 5* for the function. (This will pull in all functions that are expense, not revenue.) Click Accept on the ribbon (to save your selection). Reminder you are accessing data from a very large projection. It might take Munis a minute to pull up your data. Whenever Munis is thinking, little grey boxes will appear in the top right corner of the screen. 4
Here is an example of the screen you should be viewing. Your budget amounts will not match the screen shot below. This is an example from the test environment so some of the verbiage may vary. You may see other columns on this screen to the right of 2019 LEVEL 1 Amount. If other columns appear and you wish to eliminate them, right click on the grey column title bar and uncheck the columns within the dropdown menu. (Munis is a little finicky so you may have to right click and wait a second before seeing the dropdown menu.) Removing columns is not required. This screen has two sections: The Current Projection section keeps a running total of your project at your level of access. The Account section is where you will review/edit each line of your budget. Some fun facts: Level 1 contains your budget as it was set up in FY18 (You re welcome!! ) If your budget was adjusted due to a change in student count, you can find the increase or decrease on the following line of OCAS 11.xxxx.xxxx.51000.0619.000.0000.000.000 Upper levels (if visible) will be unlocked at a future date for supervisor approval. You can view all accounts in your budget by placing your mouse over the account lines and scrolling down. 5
Changing budget amounts: Click Update on ribbon. You are now able to update your budget via column 2019 LEVEL 1 Amount. Please review each line of your budget. (Remember to scroll down to see additional OCAS lines.) You can manually type in new budget amounts in 2019 LEVEL 1 Amount column. When making budget amount changes, please enter all reductions first. Munis will not allow your total budget to go over the project limit. It is recommended that you correct all budget amounts with existing OCAS first. You will have the opportunity (see next page) to add additional lines of OCAS if needed. Once all current OCAS line amounts are correct, click Accept on ribbon (to save your current changes). You are able to click Accept at any time but you will have to click Update to continue editing budget account lines. Notice: As you make changes to budget amounts, you will see the sum total of your budget reflected in the Current Projection section under LEVEL 1 Total. You will NOT be able to save your changes if the Total budget exceeds your limit. If you have exceeded your budget, now is the time to correct the line(s) of OCAS to meet the budget threshold. Sum total of budget lines under column 2019 LEVEL 1 Amount below. This number shows the amount you still have to budget. (For this example: the project still has to budget $763.00) This is the column you will be editing. 6
